.TH CAPTOINFO 8 "May 18, 1993"
.SH NAME
captoinfo \- convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcaptoinfo\fR [\fB-1\fR] [\fB-v\fR]... [\fB-V\fR] [\fB-w\fR \fIwidth\fR] \fIfilename\fR...
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfilename\fR for  \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For
each one found, an equivalent  \fBterminfo\fR description is written to
standard output, along with any comments found. A description which is
expressed as relative to another description (as specified in the \fBtermcap\fR
\fBtc = field\fR) is reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.
.sp
.LP
If no  \fIfilename\fR is given, then the environment variable
\fB\fR\fBTERM\fR\fBCAP \fR is used for the filename or entry. If
\fB\fR\fBTERM\fR\fBCAP \fR is a full pathname to a file,  only the terminal
whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is extracted
from that file. If the environment variable \fB\fR\fBTERM\fR\fBCAP \fR is not
set, then the file \fB/usr/share/lib/termcap\fR is read.
